The number of signatures needed is probably gonna be too many for a lot of these recalls. I (for some stupid reason) signed up to canvas in the NW riding and while the interest and turnout has been steady, it feels like the rate we are getting signatures lags behind where it would need to be to hit the target. With the limited number of volunteers, limited time, and winter weather, it'll be tough to get the word out and get the numbers we need.

It is also kind of depressing hearing some UCP supporters when they come talk to us. Most just have a different opinion, but a couple have been looking for a fight, and honestly think Smith has been the best Premiere ever, that things like the NWC usage and health care privatization are necessary, and that all the recalls are NDP or union led initiatives.
